In a different bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and melted butter.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the dough<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and mix well to combine.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Heat the oil<\/h3>\n<p>In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat the oil to 375\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> If you don&#8217;t have an electric skillet or a deep-fat fryer, you can fry in a deep pan instead. Use an instant0read thermometer to check the temperature of the oil for best results. If you don&#8217;t have a thermometer, dip the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. If the oil starts bubbling, you&#8217;re good to go. If the oil starts leaping out of the pan, you&#8217;ll want to lower the heat a bit before you start frying.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Fry the doughnut holes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1935285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Fry-for-Doughtnut-Holes-TMB-Studio-FT23_18383_JR_1116_3-DH-TOH.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Fry For Doughtnut Holes Tmb Studio Ft23 18383 Jr 1116 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, five or six at a time, into the oil.

It&#8217;s the perfect tool to get round, uniform balls of dough into your hot oil. However, a spoon is a fine replacement. While the shape of each doughnut might not be as round as it would be with a scoop, misshapen doughnut holes are just as tasty!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Coat the doughnut holes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1935287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Roll-the-for-Doughtnut-Holes-TMB-Studio-FT23_18383_JR_1116_4-DH-TOH.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Roll The For Doughtnut Holes Tmb Studio Ft23 18383 Jr 1116 4\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><br \/>\nLet the doughnut holes cool just slightly. Roll them in a bowl of confectioners&#8217; sugar when they&#8217;re still warm but not hot. The sugar sticks better this way. Then, devour.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Tell When Donut Holes Are Done<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll know the doughnut holes are done frying and cooked through when they&#8217;re evenly golden brown on the outside. After your first batch, break one or two of them open to check if they&#8217;re cooked through. If they&#8217;re still gooey on the inside, fry the next batch a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>The temperature of the oil will lower when you drop in the doughnut holes. So after you fry a batch, let the oil come back up to the correct temperature before frying the next batch. Keeping the oil at the correct temperature and frying only five to six doughnut holes at at time is the key to making perfectly cooked doughnut holes.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Doughnut Holes<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1935288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Styled-Doughtnut-Holes-TMB-Studio-FT23_18383_JR_1116_6-DH-TOH.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Styled Doughtnut Holes Tmb Studio Ft23 18383 Jr 1116 6\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Store doughnut holes in an airtight container or bag, where they&#8217;ll last for one to two days. If you know you won&#8217;t finish the doughnut holes within that timeframe, you can freeze them.<\/p>\n<p>To freeze doughnut holes, first let them cool completely. Then, arrange them in layers in a resealable freezer bag, with a piece of waxed paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>Thaw the doughnuts in the microwave. Start with 10 seconds at 50% power and add more time as necessary.

Next time, make sure you use a thermometer to gauge the temperature, or use the wooden spoon method described above.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to give the oil time to come back up to temperature in between batches, since it will lose some heat with each batch.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did the doughnut holes fall apart in the oil?<\/h3>\n<p>If your batter falls apart in the oil as it fries, the dough likely didn&#8217;t have enough moisture. Double check your ingredient measurements when making the dough.<\/p>\n<h3>What can I do if the dough is too sticky?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having a hard time getting the dough to come out of the cookie scoop, try spraying the scoop (or the spoon) with cooking spray first. You might need to re-spray after a few batches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These tasty, tender doughnut bites are easy to make.
